The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14

Answer: 14 protons and  14 neutrons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 14

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

14 + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of neutrons = 14

Thus there are 14 protons and  14 neutrons in ^{28}_{14}\textrm {Si}

The reaction A + 2B → products was found to follow the rate law: rate = k[A] 2[B]. Predict by what factor the rate of reaction w
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

By a factor of 12

Explanation:

For the reaction;

A + 2B → products

The rate law is;

rate = k[A]²[B]

As you can see, the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of  A  and the of the concentration of  B .

Let's say initially, [A] = x, [B] = y

The rate law in this case is equal to;

rate1 = k. x².y

Now you double the concentration of A and triple the concentration of B.

[A] = 2x, [B] = 3y

The new rate law is given as;

rate2 = k . (2x)². (3y)

rate2 = k . 4x² . 3y

rate2 = 12 k . x² . y

Comparing rate 2 and rate 1, the ratio is given as; rate 2/ rate 1 = 12

Therefore the rate has increased by a factor of 12.

How many moles of atoms are contained in the following 2.25g of k
ZanzabumX [31]
Atomic mass (K)= 39.1 amu

therefore:
1 mol (k)---------------------39.1 g
x------------------------------- 2.25 g

x=(1 mol * 2.25 g) / 39.1 g=0.05754....≈0.06 moles

Answer: 0.06 moles.

If I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, volume of 23 liters, and temperature of 200 K, and then I raise the pressure
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer : The volume of gas will be 29.6 L

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 12 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 14 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 23 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 200K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 300K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

\frac{12atm\times 23L}{200K}=\frac{14\times V_2}{300K}

V_2=29.6L

Therefore, the new volume of gas will be 29.6 L

Energy produced by nuclear fusion and fission
White raven [17]

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.
